Exploring the untold stories of overland transport to the Soviet Union before its collapse, this book documents the experiences of Kepstowe Freight, a pioneering British company. It highlights the challenges faced by drivers navigating harsh conditions, corruption, and treacherous roads, contrasting common perceptions of Russia with the reality of its diverse landscapes. Featuring previously unseen photographs and drivers' anecdotes, the narrative captures the dramatic changes post-1990 and the cultural shocks encountered by both travelers and locals in a rapidly transforming society.
